Yeah, mod team reacted accordingly. The site needs automated dogpiling detection and intervention. It's a problem.

The current cross-deals aren't purely circular; quite a bit of revenue is, in fact, flowing into the AI industry from the outside (you know, via customers). What's more notable is the shared risk, as the deals tie multiple compani

I’m asking what you mean by “Bluesky openly promotes communist symbolism”

by pfraze 20d ago
I’ll give a pretty honest accounting of that. We made it a pretty big goal from the start to clearly communicate to users that the network is extremely public, and that we believe open access to public content is an important part of preven

Yeah that'd be interesting to try. If you extend the endpoints and the vocabularies around RSS/OPML enough, you could likely create a fairly robust dataset replication protocol. Microformats are a decent schema basis, but you migh

Genuinely curious, how would you build it differently? Would you stick with atproto's indexing model and try to simplify it, or would you use another approach?

The team came from the IPFS and Scuttlebutt worlds. "Better" is relative to your design goals. Iroh is better for point-to-point connections & localfirst. Matrix is better for chat rooms. Etc. The general logic of atproto was

PLC's board composition and country of residence are designed to shield from that. At best it will only ever be as effective at this as ICANN, which is roughly our target.

That dev community continued into iroh and atproto. We built atproto with whyrusleeping as a very active consultant

I know you don't think it's bluesky, but which app do you think is better at putting its logo on screenshots?

I'm sure this wasn't even in the top 10 of things that we made sam implement out of fear

This is in fact a watermark to promote the application, which otherwise wouldn't be recognizable since Bluesky looks like every other microblogging app. I didn't know that Sam literally named the file GrowthHack.tsx, which is pret

by pfraze 1mo ago
What would be the upsides and downsides of that? It’s unclear what you’re asserting. Do you just want IPFS?

by pfraze 2mo ago
It is not worth it. The problem is the weight. For all of the good features it has, it's so heavy that you can't use it very long.

by pfraze 2mo ago
Well, I really appreciate the kind words. I think the atproto dev community in its entirety is full of good people who care quite a bit, and we all know something like this is a big project that we have to earn, so we're doing everythi

Luke's feedback on the permissioned data proposal is pretty interesting. The current proposal has a kind of locational element to permissions, where a record's URI reflects the access control, and I can understand why that would b

I’d also call out that activitypub has the same threat model in the form of ICANN, as it’s also heavily dependent on DNS for identity. I believe these are reasonable trades to make; realistically the alternative is to use a blockchain, whic

It doesn’t fully resolve your concerns, but I do want to highlight that atproto now has an IETF working group to home its spec development
